China property crisis: Why homeowners stopped paying their mortgages
By Suranjana Tewari Published 7 days ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing "Construction stops, mortgage stops. Deliver homes and get repaid!" That was one of the chants disgruntled apartment buyers in China used at a protest in June. But their ire over unfinished homes didn't stop at signs and chants. Hundreds of them stopped paying their mortgages - a radical step for China, where dissent is not tolerated. A young couple who moved to Zhengzhou in central China told the BBC that after receiving the down payment last year, the developer withdrew from the project and construction stalled. "I have imagined countless times the joy of living in a new home, but now it all feels ridiculous," the woman, who did not wish to be named, said. A woman in her late 20s who also bought a home in Zhengzhou told the BBC that she too is ready to stop paying her mortgage: … [Read more...] about China property crisis: Why homeowners stopped paying their mortgages

Sky doubled-charged me for 13 years and I overpaid by £7,300 – here’s how I got my money back
STEVE Jones had been a loyal Sky customer for almost 20 years - but when his bill got too expensive and he called to cancel, he got a nasty surprise. The 54-year-old builder discovered that he had been double-charged by Sky for nearly 13 years - he had overpaid by an incredible £7,300. Steve, who lives in Wigan, had decided to cancel his Sky TV and broadband package because he could no longer keep up with the costs - his bill had reached more than £150 a month. And unusually, each month Sky took two payments from his bank account. In his latest bill, a £104 payment was taken as well as a separate £59 instalment. Steve thought this was just the way Sky billed him for his contract and didn't question it.

Thrill of buying a new item of clothing fades after just four wears, study finds
Nearly half of Brits enjoy shopping for brand new clothing – but the post-shopping high fades after just four wears of a new garment, a study has found. A poll of 2,000 adults found that Brits will purchase new clothes five times a month on average, typically spending £70 a month on updating their wardrobe – although a fifth will spend £100 or more. And 47% say they enjoy buying new clothing items – but the post-shopping glow quickly turns to guilt for 56% of shoppers. More than one in five (22%) admit the excitement of the item's “newness” is fleeting, while 17% start to develop doubts over whether they actually like their purchase once their shopping high subsides. And as the cost-of-living crisis continues to bite, three-quarters look for bigger savings when shopping for clothes. Garments needn’t be brand new for cash-strapped Brits to get their retail therapy glow, though – as more than half believe it just needs to be new to them. Three-quarters of Brits are looking … [Read more...] about Thrill of buying a new item of clothing fades after just four wears, study finds
Queen Elizabeth ‘might die’ in October, claims ‘time traveller’
Queen Elizabeth, at age 96, has reportedly been struggling with recurring health and mobility issues, and now, in a rather crude joke, a self-styled ‘time traveller’ on TikTok has made startling claims about when she might pass away, reported International Business Times. According to a TikTok user named @timetraveler_2082, the long-reigning monarch may not have much longer to live, and while his comments are to be taken with a grain of salt, he says that she could die as early as this year in October. Claiming to be ‘from the future’ and on the video-sharing app to ‘warn people’ of future events, the user stated: “In 2023 Big Ben collapses due to an unexpected earthquake. In 2030 GTA 7 is released. Queen Elizabeth II went in 2022 October 4th.” While some may have found the joke funny, it is pertinent to note that royal enthusiasts have been worried about the Queen’s health for about a year now after she spent a night in the hospital last October. She has since missed quite a … [Read more...] about Queen Elizabeth ‘might die’ in October, claims ‘time traveller’
